CLOSE TO YOSEMITE! Explore the mines and hang out on our Groveland, California ranch! We are 35 minutes to the main gate of Yosemite National Park. A great place to stay just outside of the park. We have 824 acres on a beautiful cattle ranch with two small ponds. On our property, you'll find frogs, turtles, oak trees, pine trees and stunning views of Yosemite. We have several campsites to choose from including RV camping, tent camping, and a glamping tent. Pets are welcome. Campfires are permitted as long as there is no fire ban. Potable water and toilet are available onsite. There's a golf course less than a mile away. We are also very close to town. In just a few minutes, you can drive to our local grocery store and pizza parlour. We are a 10-minute drive to Pine Mountain Lake. Beautiful Pine Mountain Lake offers golfing, dining, horseback riding, water sports and an airport. When you come to the ranch it feels like you are hundreds of miles away from civilization, but still close to everything you need. It is incredibly peaceful! This is a great place for someone who wants to escape city life and enjoy the tranquillity of nature. Much of the ranch is open wilderness for you to explore, and it's not uncommon to see deer, frogs, turtles, quail, turkeys, or other countless species of birds. Diamond Gulch Camp is the perfect place to relax if you’re a photographer, artist, family or a group of friends looking for a place to camp near Yosemite. A small portion of the property was used as a gold mine years ago, and you may find remnants of old home sites if you go exploring. We're not far from Wards Ferry Road, Groveland, Lake Don Pedro and other interesting places.

Second stay, we enjoyed the clamping tent more so than Willie’s and Walt’s but this was a great trip. Always enjoy our time at Diamond Gulch.

Yosemite Diamond Lane RV parking #1
John has put a lot of thought and preparation into this beautiful camping spot. The tent sites have tables, fire pits, showers, and toilets. There are glamping sites too ! We used the RV site next to the barn. It was dry camping and exactly what we wanted on our way to Yosemite. The property is serene with plenty of acres to explore. John is very friendly and knowledgeable. He gave us much information about the history of the farm and adjacent area. We had a very pleasant stay and would definitely return.

Site 3 - Walt’s Mining Camp 1893
It was a very welcoming place, lots of open fields, the sounds of the cows in the morning just gave it that extra feel of coziness. Great place to stay if you’re looking to unwind and step foot away from that city noise.
